Ghana is expected to work closely with the Chinese government as part of a new strategy to combat the importation of pirated Ghanaian textiles from China.

This comes after several calls on government to tackle the widespread pirating of Ghanaian textile designs in China at a bilateral level.

According to the immediate past Minister of Trade and Industry, Haruna Iddrisu, the Ministry “will engage our embassy in China and the Chinese authorities in Ghana to check pirating of Ghanaian textile designs… accordingly, we will engage in some diplomatic maneuvering in handling this matter but to let them appreciate that they must play within the rules and respect our laws.”
